Considering a Bigger Pool? How to Expand Your Existing Pool

As your family grows or your needs change, you might find that your once-perfect pool now feels a bit too small. Whether you’re looking to accommodate more guests, add new features, or simply enjoy more swimming space, expanding your existing pool is a great option. At Big Becks Pools and Pavers, we specialize in pool expansions that enhance your backyard and improve your overall swimming experience. Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering a bigger pool.

Assessing Your Current Pool and Yard Space

The first step in expanding your pool is to assess your current pool and yard space. Consider the available area around your existing pool and how an expansion might fit into your backyard layout. This assessment includes evaluating the condition of your current pool structure, plumbing, and electrical systems to ensure they can support the planned expansion. Our team at Big Becks will conduct a thorough inspection to determine the feasibility of your project.

Designing the Expansion

Once we’ve assessed your space, the next step is to design the expansion. Whether you’re looking to extend the length, widen the pool, or add new features like a spa or tanning ledge, our designers will work with you to create a plan that meets your needs and complements your existing landscape. We use 3D modeling to help you visualize the expanded pool and make any necessary adjustments before construction begins.

Permitting and Approvals

Just like with new pool construction, expanding an existing pool requires obtaining the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities. Our team will handle all the paperwork and ensure that your project complies with Nassau County’s zoning laws, safety regulations, and environmental guidelines. This step is crucial to avoid any legal issues and ensure that your expansion is done correctly.

Excavation and Construction

With the design finalized and permits in hand, we’ll begin the excavation and construction process. Depending on the scope of the expansion, this may involve removing sections of your existing pool, reshaping the pool area, or adding new structural elements. Our skilled crew will ensure that the expansion is seamlessly integrated with your existing pool, maintaining the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the entire space.

Adding New Features

Expanding your pool offers the perfect opportunity to add new features that enhance your swimming experience. Consider incorporating elements like a spa, waterfall, or upgraded lighting. You might also want to add a tanning ledge, a swim-up bar, or even a slide for the kids. These features not only increase the enjoyment of your pool but also boost the overall value of your property.

Finishing Touches and Landscaping

Once the expansion is complete, the final step is to add finishing touches and update the surrounding landscaping. This might include new decking, pavers, or additional seating areas to create a cohesive and inviting outdoor space. Our team will work with you to ensure that the expanded pool area blends seamlessly with your existing yard, creating a backyard oasis that you’ll love for years to come.

Ongoing Maintenance and Support

After your pool expansion is complete, regular maintenance is key to keeping it in top condition. At Big Becks Pools and Pavers, we offer comprehensive maintenance services to help you care for your newly expanded pool. From routine cleanings to seasonal openings and closings, we’re here to ensure that your pool remains a beautiful and functional centerpiece of your home.
